Kundalini Symposium, our annual conference, is a conduit for scientists, philosophers, mystics, activists, thought leaders, and wisdom-keepers to connect with a growing international community of supporters. Kundalini is one of the most important ideas in the world today, with the power to revolutionize our understanding of all major aspects of human life, including the environment, politics, economics, health, psychology, etc. At Kundalini Symposium you’ll learn, connect, and evolve. You’ll hear from thought leaders from diverse fields and will walk away with new knowledge, inspirational ideas, and new ways to connect knowledge with practice.

Kundalini is a word from ancient India, but describes a universal phenomenon found in all cultures throughout the world — the experience of spiritual awakening. Kundalini is the biological mechanism behind evolution and Higher Consciousness- the goal of evolution.

The event is 100% free and all videos will remain free! You will be able to access these important videos on YouTube after the conference. Like what we are doing? Show your support by donating to this important cause.

This year’s theme – “Kundalini: Radical Science and Evolution”

For humankind to progress forward, a new approach toward science and evolution is desperately needed. According to the late Kundalini yogi and researcher Gopi Krishna, consciousness research now demands that we turn our attention from the outer world to the inner world, making our own bodies the laboratory and humbly approaching Spirit for instruction in the rudiments of this science. Likewise, the world will require revolutionary new thinkers, innovators, builders – and most of all, spiritual genius – to guide her down the path of evolution. This year’s Kundalini Symposium will highlight radical new ideas in our approach to both science and evolution.

This led her on a path of personal healing and transformation where she discovered her “new gifts” were due to unhealthy tears and energy leaks in her energy field.Years later after reaching an authentic Kundalini Bliss State she now teaches Empaths, and Energetic Sensitives how to develop healthy energetic boundaries in order to enhance their gifts, without taking on others’ emotions or physical pain.

11:35am PST

Kundalini is the life force engaged in the deconstruction and realignment of your energy and consciousness, and this dynamic impacts every area of your life. It is both a revolution and evolution that triggers a radical shift in how you see yourself and the world It is your own energy field reorganizing so that you can know the answer to your deepest longing for truth, and live your life with a new perspective. But like any revolution it can bring profound challenges. What can you expect and how can you learn to trust this process as it unfolds in your life?

Carl Calleman Ph.D. – Is the Plumed Serpent Returning and if so, in what way?

What are the Serpents of ancient times? They were so much revered and for instance symbols of the rising Kundalini energy. Why was the Serpent so widespread as a spiritual force in ancient times and why was it cursed by Yahweh in the Biblical Creation story? Is it good or is it evil and how are we to relate to it? If Kundalini energy is a Serpent energy what does this tell us about it? Based on Mayan cosmology, where the Plumed serpent was one of the foremost divinities I will in this presentation discuss what it can mean to us at the present time.
